Patient Reviews
Feb 15, 2024
The Cleveland Clinic, and Dr. Smedira, are the standard by which other cardiothoracic hospitals and surgeons should be measured. Our entire experience, from start to finish, was efficient, professional, and at the highest standard of care. If you have a choice where to go for cardiac care, this is where you should go.
